Editorial & Publications

Pegasus

At Pegasus Books, I supported the editorial and production teams by reviewing manuscripts at various stages of development. I wrote reader’s reports to assess submissions for genre fit and publication potential, conducted eBook reviews to ensure clean formatting in digital files, and proofed book jacket designs for accuracy and consistency. This role sharpened my eye for detail and gave me hands-on experience with the editorial and production workflow of a trade publisher.
